An image of the Pieces of Eight CD and (separately) vinyl products now available for preorder in the store. The CD case bears the stylised skull image in a tarnished golden colour, while the two CDs themselves are a black with the text of the song titles spiralling around the middle. The vinyl cover also bears the stylised Po8 skull image, while the discs themselves are shown as a bright golden colour.
An image of the 3-part harmony songbook, showing the stylised skull image on the front cover (in tarnished gold) on a black background, and an inset image showing the inside of the book and back cover, as evidence that the book does, in fact, contain both song music and lyrics, as well as little bits of text about each of the songs written by members of the band!
A photograph of the golden Pieces of Eight coin available in the store. On one side it shows the stylised skull flanked by text saying The Longest Johns and Pieces of Eight, then on the other side is the same skull but surrounded by the eight different illustrations that partnered with each released piece.
The Pieces of Eight pin set, which is eight individual segments of a circular coin, in shiny golden metal. In the centre of the segments is the stylised skull, and around them, one on each segment, are the illustrations that went with each individual piece.
We've got some new Pieces of Eight merch landing in the store VERY SOON, and you can get preorders in right now if you should desire! CD, vinyl, a songbook, PLUS a limited edition coin and pin set! Go check 'em out

A collage of all eight images for the pieces, assembled around the central completed coin. There's a lot to describe here, but the coin itself is a golden disc with a stylised skull in the middle, around which are arranged eight different images that depict the different titles and themes of the various pieces. There's a whale, a tavern, mountains, a cave, a lighthouse, tentacles.. and a couple of others that I'm not sure how to describe! The eight coin segments are shown on different backgrounds such as sand, a table with cards, a map, a pan, a cave, salt, blue scales, and purple tentacles.
A behind-the-scenes shot of JD and Andy standing outdoors on some tarmac in a car park, with some hedges in the background and cloudy blue skies overhead. They are both wearing winter coats, JD giving a cheeky glance to the camera over his left shoulder while Andy has his arms folded and is looking with a bit of a smirk on his face.
A screenshot of the TLJ Bandcamp page for Pieces of Eight showing the band's logo across the top, and the Po8 coin design with a stylised skull in the middle, and big red arrows and a circle indicating the space where you should click if you want to join the Pieces of Eight listening party on Friday 7th of November at 8pm GMT/UTC. There is a small bit of text on the bottom right of this image (and generally in the right side of the page) where you should click to express your interest in joining and be reminded when it goes live!
Good news!
This FRIDAY you can get
-Pieces of Eight!
-A new video!
-A special Bandcamp Po8 listen party (head to Bandcamp and click where the arrows show in the third picture!)

An overhead picture showing Andy from The Longest Johns with a somewhat uncomfortable, bemused frown on his face (including squinting eyes) as he appears to be lying down on some tarmac and grass. There also appear to be a few scattered golden coins strewn through the shot.
Alright, it's all go this Friday:
1 - The complete Pieces of EIght collection goes live
2 - There's a new video coming
3 - We'll be having a Bandcamp listen-along party as well!

A lovingly-rendered photomanipulation of the infamous Infinity Gauntlet from such films as Marvel, EXCEPT (and here's the subtle part), it's super wide with like 8 fingers, and on the knuckle of each is, instead of a stone (because who has eight stones, that's silly, and please ignore the Time Stone still on the thumb because your artist was rushing and missed that one), a Piece of Eight, from gigashanty collection Pieces of Eight by The Longest Johns. And in the middle of the back of the hand, instead of the Mind Stone, is the skull from the middle of the Pieces of Eight logo, when fully assembled. Maybe the Time Stone can still be there because we're saying that news is coming in November, and maybe you want to manipulate time to get there faster?
We're assembling the pieces into one exciting collection, but it's taking a little time to cook... album and merch news will be coming in early November!
Thank you for your patience ❤️

A frankly remarkable piece of Photoshoppery where an image of an idyllic sunrise has been edited to show a glowing Pieces of Eight coin glowing up over the horizon instead, complete with slightly shimmery reflection in the water. In words I can tell you that it looks exactly as if the coin were cast in bright, glowing sunlight and the reflection is uncannily accurate. This would be a lie. Sorry.
The Pieces are now complete, BUT... some of you have rightly been asking for a neater, more 'assembled' collection. Well there may be some good news coming up on the horizon

In a poignant send-off for Pieces of Eight, the final video, Fiddler's Green, went up last week. Have you seen it yet? How are you doing? Need a hug?

Thumbnail for the Fiddlers Green music video, showing some gnarled, rotted wood from the wrecked hull of an old ship. In the middle is what appears to be a porthole.
Video thumbnail image for Home Free's new single, Challenge the Sea, featuring The Longest Johns. It shows members of TLJ looking somewhat haggard, bedraggled, and other such evocatively fun words as they sit in a rubber dinghy covered in seaweed, amid rocks. Robbie is pointing skyward and yelling. To the right, members of Home Free are stood in a group, looking at each other as if formulating some kind of plan. Adam Chance, in particular, is looking askance with a good, quizzical glare whilst holding a toothpick in the corner of his mouth. In the background of the picture is a coastline with sea, which may be the subject of said challenge.
It's a back-to-back Double Premiere musical treat for you today! Roll into Fiddler's Green at 6pm BST, then straight after join us with Home Free as we Challenge the Sea! See you there shortly!

A very purple image. It shows the final Piece of Eight, and eighth of a golden coin, nestled in the purple suckers of a tentacle. The coin itself, perhaps somewhat prophetically, also shows a writhing mass of tentacles bursting forth from the sea.
The Pieces of EIght are now complete! Stricken, the final part, is now live and available for you to enjoy (no ETA on Bandcamp upload yet though).
And keep your eyes ready for a new video later!

STRICKEN! The final Piece of Eight will soon be going live, so here's an early chance to presave it! found.ee/thelongestjo...
And the keen-eyed among you may have realised that with that final 'S' the initials of each title spells out the secret message... HAUPBSFS!

I'll be honest, I'm not 100% on everything I'm looking at here. There's a bit of shimmery, scaly purple/green/blue something in the top right corner, partially covering a section of the coin segment in the middle of the shot. The coin piece itself shows a part of a skull's eye socket, then a cloudy skyline with what appears to be a whale's tail poking out from behind a.. much lower cloud? With maybe a volcanic eruption going on above? Then some kind of grey/brown flagstone floor underneath.
Are you in the mood for some FOLLY?!
New EP from Pieces of Eight, along with a new video, both out today (video at 6pm BST!

JUST TWO PIECES REMAIN!
It's been quite the journey we've all undertaken, but all we need to do now is bring it home!
FOLLY, the next in the Pieces of Eight series, arrives on Friday

An image of a near-triangular golden eighth of a circle, a Piece of Eight. At the top, towards the centre of where the rest of the coin would lie, there is part of the skull that makes the central design, shown as a few teeth from the upper jaw, and part of the nose. Below this, and further towards the edge of the coin segment, is a lighthouse and clouds. This all rests on a background of what appears to be salt granules, arranged perhaps like billowing clouds or sand dunes.
Alright, this week we're here to sprinkle some SALT on it! You can look forward to a new Piece of Eight on Friday, along with a new video! We know you're going to love this one, you've been asking for it since it appeared on a stream not too long ago...
